Like letters of reference indicate like parts in the several figures. q l

The nature of my invention consists in the peculiar construction .of a spool-thread guide, so as to make `it a, in'figsLl and 1h of the drawings, may represent a spool of thread, the-journal b lof which rests in suit-V 1 in notches e,

able bearings in bars d, the ends of-Which are notched,

grasped by wires fg, which rest and are clamped on the bars d by means of nuts @through which they pass, and which bear :againstthe'outer sides of bars d.

Secured on the wires fg, which pass throu'ghthem,

' are short blocks h t, 'o neof which,`h, is provided with fi being' made a little heavier,

a hole, j, through `which the thread passes, the block to serve as a counterpoise to'block Jr,

Y It will bereasily understood, that by sliding the d, the guide canbe nutsc on the wire, and shifting the wires f g into notches e, nearer 'to or further from the ends of hars adjusted to the length and -width oi' di'erent-sized-'spools l-The operation of my device, yas shown in figs. 1-
